"The biggest difference is that now, makers have started considering me for the lead role in mainstream Bollywood films and web shows. I have received calls where directors said, 'I had written the script with someone else in mind, but after watching this show, I think nobody will suit the role better than you.'" He further recalled, "Hansal sir is an actor's director. He only kept saying, 'Follow your gut. If you feel you have given your best shot, I am game.'" 
 
He even said that he was a full-time employee at a corporate from 2008 to 2016 and did not view theatre as [his primary] source of income. It was only after Wrong Side Raju won the National Award that made him quit his job and become a full-time actor.
